use vasm or vasmCC to configure the network. If you can get to connect once, you'll have passed the 1st stage. Some problems have been reported about vl not remembering connections from one boot to another. There's a fix for that too, but first, post about your experiences with vasm .

When you solve a problem please take a minute to go back to your original post, click Modify, and changed the subject line to include the word [SOLVED]. This makes it easier on the volunteers doing technical support.
